Array Profile
All probe sets represented on the GeneChip Human Genome U133 Set are identically replicated on the GeneChip Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array. The sequences from which these probe sets were derived were selected from GenBank®, dbEST, and RefSeq. The sequence clusters were created from the UniGene database (Build 133, April 20, 2001) and then refined by analysis and comparison with a number of other publicly available databases,
including the Washington University EST
trace repository and the University of
California, Santa Cruz Golden-Path human
genome database (April 2001 release).
In addition, there are 9,921 new probe
sets representing approximately 6,500 new
genes. These gene sequences were selected
from GenBank, dbEST, and RefSeq.
Sequence clusters were created from the UniGene database (Build
159, January 25, 2003) and refined by analysis and comparison with a number of other publicly available databases, including the Washington University EST trace repository and the NCBI human genome assembly (Build 31).
